Hello there

sorry about your score.
You are the best person to answer what happened. Did you feel anxious? Was your first attempt? Take a couple of days and have some rest. And pace your self again for a higher score!

hi,

how many practice tests in total have you taken? just that one manhattan test?

if you bring your score up to a 600 or more, then schools will not look negatively on your first test, so don't worry about it too much. just study using the resources on this site, and work on improving your score.

did you find yourself pressed for time? remember, if you skip any questions, it severely impacts your score. you should therefore strive not only to answer as many correctly as possible, but also to finish the test entirely.

I had taken around 10 Mock test. Including Gprep, Kaplan and Manhattan. During my exam I was not able to concentrate I think that is the main culprit.

This is how my preparation was.

Quant

Straighted away Started of with OG 12 and did no other stuff other than mock test.

Now i think i should have studied my basics first and moved on to other things.

Verbal

SC - Manhatten SC ,OG 12 and 10, gmatclub material.
CR - OG 12.
RC - OG 12.

any suggestion for me to improve my score ?? especially verbal

how have you studied? do you use an error log? do you extract patterns/traps/take aways from the questions? do you have problems with timing? what are your hit rates of problems from the OG?
